Moving and Unrelocating Subdisks
340 VERITAS Volume Manager Administrator’s Guide
Moving and Unrelocating Subdisks Using vxdiskadm
To move the hot-relocated subdisks back to the disk where they originally resided after
the disk has been replaced following a failure, use the following procedure:
1. Select menu item 14 (Unrelocate subdisks back to a disk) from the
vxdiskadm main menu.
2. This option prompts for the original disk media name first.
Enter the disk media name where the hot-relocated subdisks originally resided at the
following prompt:
Enter the original disk name [<disk>,list,q,?]
If there are no hot-relocated subdisks in the system, vxdiskadm displays Currently
there are no hot-relocated disks, and asks you to press Return to continue.
3. You are next asked if you want to move the subdisks to a destination disk other than
the original disk.
While unrelocating the subdisks, you can choose to move the
subdisks to a different disk from the original disk.
Unrelocate to a new disk [y,n,q,?] (default: n)
4. If moving subdisks to their original offsets is not possible, you can choose to
unrelocate the subdisks forcibly to the specified disk, but not necessarily to the same
offsets.
Use -f option to unrelocate the subdisks if moving to the exact
offset fails? [y,n,q,?] (default: n)
5. If you entered y at step 4 to unrelocate the subdisks forcibly, enter y or press Return at
the following prompt to confirm the operation:
Requested operation is to move all the subdisks which were
hot-relocated from mydg10 back to mydg10 of disk group mydg.
Continue with operation? [y,n,q,?] (default: y)
A status message is displayed at the end of the operation.
VxVM INFO V-5-2-954 Unrelocate to disk mydg10 is complete.
As an alternative to this procedure, use either the vxassist command or the
vxunreloc command directly, as described in “Moving and Unrelocating Subdisks
Using vxassist” on page 341 and “Moving and Unrelocating Subdisks Using vxunreloc”
on page 341.
